MATERIAL. Holotype ♀ ( ZMMU), with label ‘ Vietnam, Dak Lak Prov. [ince],/ Chu Yang Sin Nat [io]n[al]. Park,/ 12°23′48″N 108°20′59″E / Krong Kmar riv[er]., upp[e]r flow/ h= 1200–1650 m, 30.III–14./ D. Fedorenko leg. IV.2012 ’. Paratype ♀ ( SIEE), same data, except for ‘…/ 12°22′36″N 108°21′13″E / 1.5 km W [of] Chu Pan Phan Mt ,/ h= 1650 m 19.III–2.IV./ D. Fedorenko leg. 2013’.

DIAGNOSIS. An apterous black species ( Fig. 17 ) different from G. variabilis sp.n. as the most similar species in the combination of the head smaller, PW/HW 1.14–1.18 (vs. 1.20–1.29), the pronotum broadest farther from the apex, PLw/PL 0.37–0.39 (vs. 0.24–0.33), and the elytra barely shorter and distinctly wider in female, EW/PW l.85–1.92 (vs. 1.72–1.82), with the ridges equally developed.

DESCRIPTION. As for G. variabilis sp.n. except the following. BL 21.8–22.6 mm. Shallow impression on vertex more distinct. Pronotal base slightly sinuate, sides sinuate in front of and very slightly diverging toward very slightly acute and blunt basal angles. Elytral apical margin subsinuate or straight.

DISTRIBUTION. Known from the type locality only.

NAME. Refers to very sparse pubescence of the elytra.

HABITATS AND HABITS. The two the specimens were hand collected in monsoon forests.
